Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet skipped the Met Gala to catch a Knicks game instead, where they witnessed an exciting victory.
Livin' the Hoops Dream: Timothée Chalamet Prioritizes Knicks Over Kylie at Met Gala
Ditching the glitz and glamour of the Met Gala, Oscar-nominated heartthrob and basketball fanatic Timothée Chalamet made an unexpected choice, opting instead to watch the enthralling Game 1 win by his beloved New York Knicks over the Boston Celtics.
Social media was brimming with Chalamet's exhilaration, with Instagram posts showcasing his unwavering support for his favorite NBA team. His digital diary included a screengrab of the gripping match, captioned with a heartfelt prayer emoji, and later blank screens with fervent messages like, "I'm losing my mind over this game!" and "Shaking. What a win!"
His unwavering dedication to the Knicks didn't go unnoticed, as the pair had been spotted together at the Intuit Dome just a week prior, catching Game 5 between the Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves.
Given his packed filming schedule and global commitments, it's no surprise that Chalamet may not have been within the Big Apple's city limits for the Met Gala.
As the Knicks battled back from a 20-point deficit in the second half, even the Celtics' staunchest critics conceded it was shaping up to be an electrifying match. With the game tied at the buzzer, overtime ensued, and the Knicks emerged triumphant, 108-105.
Mikal Bridges took charge for the Knicks, logging a heroic 51 minutes and contributing three steals, the last of which clinched the game. OG Anunoby and Jalen Brunson shone as top scorers, with 29 points each, while Karl-Anthony Towns secured 13 rebounds but managed only 14 points.
The Celtics struggled in long-range shooting, missing an alarming 45 three-pointers, converting just 15 of their 60 attempts. With a dismal field goal percentage of 35.1%, they fell short against the Knicks, who made 42.5% of their shots, sinking close to 46% of their three-pointers.
With Game 2 scheduled for Wednesday, May 7, the Knicks and Celtics will face off once more, preparing for the series to shift to New York for Games 3 and 4 on May 10 and 12, respectively.
